ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The new book by the author considered by critics to be "the Spanish Modiano." -Le Figaro

A dazzling novel about love and desire.
Falling in love is a country invented by desire.

After his mother's death, the discovery of some decades-old letters leads the protagonist of this novel--a university professor close to his sixties--to review his own life and those of his parents, all of which have been shaped and distorted by their different romantic relationships.

Now a correspondent of his own life, the narrator finds himself immersed in a combat against himself. Somewhere between instinctive and rational, it leads him to the conviction that he is only a link in the chain that connects him with all those throughout the centuries who have loved and lost.
East is a novel about love as a mask of desire and of passion, whose grandeur contains its own end.
